Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path 205 Chapter 204

Regardless, if those two were young, then Leon really would have better chances of finding some clues talking with someone older. Regardless, by the look of things, their leader was supposed to be someone who was at least eighty years old… and it was still fighting against monsters. It looked like mana also slowed down the aging process…

"All right, let's visit your leader," Leon said. "But I must warn you, if this is a trap, I will drop a meteor in your camp."

"I understand." The big guy said.

Leon couldn't drop meteors in anyone, but the warn had being given. After that, Leon freed those two and healed their wounds. The woman was still unconscious, but the guy looked pretty surprised when his broken bones returned to its original state. It looked like healing magic was rare in that world too…

"My name is Hammath, and this is Ava," Hammath said. "Sorry for attacking you so suddenly early."

"Why are you apologizing?" Leon frowned. "I invaded your lands, after all. In any case, can't you guys escape from the gravity trap? I can't imagine anyone living a good life down here."

"It is indeed difficult, but we found a way to escape from the mist," Hammath answered. "If we try hard, we can jump high enough to escape from those effects, or we can climb the pillars, but none of us know how to fly. So, we can only escape for a few seconds. Besides, if we try to go to the upper world, we will be killed on the spot."

"Is that so… can't you guys just learn how to fly?" Leon asked. "It shouldn't be hard to sneak out at night and steal the knowledge of a few convenient skills."

"Yes, that is possible." Hammath nodded. "However, we have to consider our natural talents. Warriors like us would have a hard time learning how to fly. Besides, our mana pool isn't that large."

"Can't you just meditate to solve that?" Leon frowned. "You guys can always increase your mana with status points, too, right?"

"Yes, but it is inefficient," Hammath answered. "I heard that the people who were alive seventy years ago could increase their mana the way they wanted, but the next generations got influenced by their parent's status. A son of a warrior would have an easy time increasing his physical-related status, but the benefits of meditation wouldn't be so effective. For example, people like me need to meditate for two days to obtain a single mana point. Meanwhile, I can increase my stamina five times faster…"

"I see…" Leon said.

It looked like mana changed people's bodies to a genetic level. Perhaps the next generations on Earth wouldn't have that many options in terms of growth like Leon has. That was bad, but it was also good. Maybe a kid wouldn't have much mana, but if that kid is born with a lot of health, the chances of the baby dying from diseases or of accidents will decrease considerably.

"So, you guys have bodies like that because you inherited from your parents," Leon said. "It's all thanks to the status they had… did you guys inherit skills too?"

"Yes, I don't know why, probably because our parents suffered a lot due to the poison, but most newborn babies are born with the Poison Resistance skill," Hammath said. "A few are born with some other skills like Strong Arms and Accuracy, but those are rare."

"What did happen to the kids who aren't born with the Poison Resistance?" Leon asked.

"They suffer a lot, but the chances of them dying is low," Hammath answered.

"Did their skin change too? I imagine the tone of your skin is thanks to that skill." Leon said.

"Yes, once the skill reaches level 100, our bodies changed. It is probably because we are under the effects of poison at all times," Hammath explained. "The same applies to our upper and lower bodies once the skills Strong Arms and Strong Legs reach that level."

"No wonder you guys have such amazing bodies…" Leon looked at the unconscious Ava, who had a pair of rocking tits.

Leon tried to hide his interest, but it was kind of hard looking away from that set of boobs. She was fifteen centimeters taller than Leon, so she was a bit intimidating, but still… unfortunately, the holy sword didn't look that interested. Regardless, it looked like skills could pass level 100. Leon's dream of learning some crazy spells by training his current ones to that point had been shattered, but it was kind of good to know that his skills could grow beyond such point.

"To think that those guys have some skills that passed the level 100… if it weren't for the gravity trap, they probably would have killed me."

While Leon thought that Ava suddenly got up and picked her bow, then she frowned when she saw Leon and Hammath sitting on a pile of rubble facing each other.

"Lead the way to your camp; I will follow you guys from above since I'm already sick of this mist," Leon said.

Ava frowned when she heard that, but Hammath quickly explained Leon's situation. Unlike Hammath, who saw in Leon someone who could help to improve their current life, Ava saw in Leon someone dangerous who could destroy their lifestyle.

"Don't worry about it… he isn't like the people from the upper world." Hammath said. "He is just trying to find a way home. If we help him, he will help us as well."

"But…" Ava hesitated.

"Ava, we survived until now by ourselves, but for how long can we do that?" Hammath asked. "Just trust me, okay. I can see in his eyes that he won't cause any harm to us."

"…" Ava looked at Leon with dubious eyes.

"Sorry, she doesn't like strangers." Hammath forced a smile.

"I can see that she is the smarter one of your group," Leon said.
